White Rock Marathon – Sunday Dec 4th.

Concerns about Coyotes

Many of our members have expressed concern about the sightings of wild animals such as coyotes and foxes and reports of pet mutilations in our area. This photo of a pair of foxes was taken in the alley behind the 5100 block of Vanderbilt.

Greenland Hills Neighborhood Association has extended an invitation to a joint meeting on Tuesday, December 13, at 7:00 p.m. at Unity Church on Greenville @ McCommas.

Parking is limited, so allow yourself a little extra time.
